Inscription wrote by Roosevelt for Chongqing
It was said"In the name of the people of the United States of America.I present this scroll to the City of Chungking as a symbol of our admiration for its brave men, women and children.
Under blasts of terror from the air, even in the days before the world at large had known this horror .Chungking and its people held out firm and unconquered.
They proved gloriously that terrorism cannot destroy the spirit of a people determined to be free. Their fidelity to the cause of freedom will inspire the hearts of all future generations.
